The UK Cinema Association has joined forces with 20th Century Fox on a national programme of preview screenings of the upcoming Miss Peregrine's School for Curious Children in support of the National Film and Television School.

An exceptionally strong August - which saw admissions surge almost 26 per cent ahead of the same month in 2015 - capped off a strong Summer at UK cinemas, buoyed by a diverse slate of films, in particular targeted at the family audience.
